Not in loving you, not in being there for you, not in telling you it'll be fine after you fake eloped in Mexico with some d-bag with a flesh-colored beard.(Spencer continues to be the worst person on the planet. Strict Shenaniganist agrees).

Yeah, my mom doesn't know you, so she couldn't possibly be better than your mom at those things.

But there's no way your mom would do this for you:That's right. An entire holiday door decoration, made from scratch. I mentioned to my mom during her Thanksgiving visit that there's a holiday door decorating contest at my apartment complex. Without another word from me, she said, "OK, so what are we going to do?" That very night, we got fabric and she started to assemble this masterpiece, all from the inspiration of this caroler:If you look closely, you can see that she used a photo of my face for the carolers face.I don't see Carol Brady pulling that off. Or Vivian Banks. Or Ellen Griswold. Even Capricorn's mom, who folded my manpants and constantly offers me food, wouldn't dare attempt this.It's a fact. My mom has already sewn up (get it?) the Mom of the Year award.

Oh it's on now, little man. If you think my quote-producing, gin-drinking, boyfriend-insulting, baby-fearing, martini-shaking mother is going to come in second place to a mom who does crafty mom-like things?

Doesn't she already have the best present of all -- a son who loves he and isn't afraid to say so? Corny but true! Moms always go for that stuff. That is pretty friggin' great ... and your mom is pretty wonderful!! If you don't win the contest, I'd file a complaint with your landlord.

Also want to let you know that I'm having a giveaway at my blog ($20 Target gift card) if you want to check it out. There is also a quiz about children's books if you are intersted. The link is http://mrsfligs.blogspot.com/2008/12/award-inspiration-quiz-and-giveaway.html.

My mom is not Susie homemaker crafty... but my oh so generous mama did help me get my kids a Wii this Christmas & didn't tell my sister that she helped me... My mom is the friggin' best, dude... but yours is pretty special too... BTW, you are a cute caroler...

Oh how wrong you are, Andy Bobby Shaw. My mom would SO do that for me...and how! Except it wouldn't be a door hanging, it would be a holiday jumper. Yes, that's right, not a dress, a JUMPER. And she would make homemade Christmas jewelry to go with it and then make matching outfits for the whole family.

This is the same woman who bought me a pink BEJEWELED cowgirl hat FROM CRACKER BARRELL for my college graduation present. God I love my mom....

PS, I'm not even kidding, she really did make me and my sister holiday jumpers when we were in grade school that were scarily similar to your door hanging. Those pictures will never be seen by anyone. I can't make this stuff up

My mommy rocks too. She used to send me (and my friends) cards on halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, easter, Kwanzaa, Fat Tuesday, All Saint's Day and The Superbowl when we were in college. Another time, she sent us a pop bottle filled a letter and candy and such. So we got a "message in a bottle" so my mommy is cool too. Ask everyone from school, they'll tell you.
